Scottish Awards for New Music winners announced

The first ever Scottish Awards for New Music have been awarded at a ceremony in Glasgow. The new awards, backed by Creative Scotland, aim to celebrate and champion Scottish composers, musicians, sound artists and ensembles which are creating innovative and experimental work.

‘These are the [people] who are driving forward one of Scotland’s most exciting and experimental music sectors,’ said Alan Morrison, head of music at Creative Scotland.

Over 180 artists were nominated for the awards by fellow artists, audience members and the general public, and the nominees ranged from amateur musicians to household names.
